This paper presents and discusses the U.S. Army telemedicine support systems currently available to our deployed forces in Southwest Asia. Organization and structure of the support system are discussed, along with some of the business rules and policies developed for its use. Some of the lessons learned are directly applicable to any type of large-scale telemedicine deployment, civilian or military.

Background: In-clinic gait retraining has been effective in modifying suspected biomechanical risk factors for running injury, but its feasibility is often limited by multiple clinic visits. This randomized clinical trial investigated the effects of a telehealth-based gait retraining intervention on running biomechanics, pain, and function in previously injured runners.
Methods: Twenty-three participants recovering from lower extremity injuries were randomized to a control or intervention group.
Objective: This study aimed to quantify the impact of shifting in-person pre-vasectomy consultations to telehealth visits on travel time and carbon footprint reduction.
Materials And Methods: Utilizing retrospective chart analysis, we examined men who underwent vasectomy at our institution from November 15, 2020, to November 15, 2021. Using their home address, we estimated the distance and travel time with Google Maps direction services to our institution's outpatient urology clinic.
Association between serum potassium, risk and prognosis of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients - results from the Peritoneal Dialysis Telemedicine-assisted Platform Cohort (PDTAP) Study.

Article Synopsis
- Hypokalemia (low potassium levels) has been linked to an increased risk of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis, but this study investigates whether this association holds up when accounting for factors like malnutrition and other health conditions.
- Researchers used a large national dataset to analyze the relationship between serum potassium levels and the occurrence of peritonitis, employing various statistical models to reduce bias between patients with and without hypokalemia.
- Findings showed that while patients with potassium levels below 4.0 mmol/L had a higher incidence of peritonitis, when accounting for other variables, low potassium was not independently associated with a higher risk of peritonitis or treatment failure.
